Chapter 1Product Summary

1. Product SummaryThe present Installation Guide describes the hardware of the Single Ethernet Extension Card FLX 3101 of the eWON Flexy family.

The eWON Flexy family is a range of modular industrial gateway/router.

As the name eWON Flexy suggests, it has been designed to enable numerous different combinations of Extension Cards and Base Units. The present Installation Guide is focusing onan extension card which, as such, needs to be inserted in one of the Base Units in order to work. The Base Units have their individual Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base Units”. The present guide addresses shortly how the Extension Cards integrate the Base Units and we give some recommendations to mount them (see § 3.6 Plugging the Extension Cardinto the Base Unit).

3.6. Plugging the Extension Card into the Base Unit

3.6.1. Base Unit Slot Compatibility

The Single Ethernet Extension Card (FLX 3101) can be inserted in all slots of the Base Unit.

Explanation:

The Flexy Base Units feature two type of slots. The A slots are the two first slots starting from the left. The B slots are the two last slots. Some cards fit in A and B slots. Some not. Cards thatfit only one type of slot have a mechanical mistake-proof security.



The reference code of the Extension Cards includes a letter that defines their compatibility either with “A” slots, “B” slots or both:

• FLA xxxx - designates cards that fit into “A” slots

• FLB xxxx - designates cards that fit into “B” slots

• FLX xxxx - designates cards that fit into both “A” and “B” slots

In addition to the card reference, each type of extension card bears a visual compatibility symbol on its front panel. The visual symbols are shown in the table below:

●●○○ 2 first slots only (A)

●●●● In any slot (X)

○○●● 2 last slots only (B)

3.6.2. Extension Card Insertion

Please wait 30 seconds after powering off the equipment before inserting (or removing) an extension card. This is to avoid possible damage to the Base Unit and Extension Card.

Remove the slot filler of the location where you want to insert the new card. To do this, press on both ends of the cover, note that the hooks (1) are out-centered like shown on the pictures.

Hooks to be pressed are off-centered – press while pulling upwards



Insert the Extension Card carefully and slide it down until the hooks are clicking. Make sure the card is completely inserted.

3.6.3. Multiple Ethernet Extension Cards

The eWON Flexy firmware supports up to one Ethernet Extension Card of type FLX 3101.

The boot process of the Base Unit includes an automated detection of the inserted Extension Cards. This detection is done sequentially, slot per slot starting from the left to right.. Only the first detected Ethernet card (the most left one) will be taken into account by the Flexy firmware.

Additional cards of the same type will be ignored. Contrary to slot-specific cards inserted in a wrong slot, Ethernet cards in excess do not alter proper operation of the Base Unit and other Extension Cards.



3.6.4. Power Requirements

The internal power converter of the eWON Flexy Base units has been dimensioned to cover a broad range of different combinations of Extension Cards. Users should make sure the total power demand of the Extension Cards does not exceed the capabilities of the Base Unit. That is why the notion of “Energy Points” has been introduced.

The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base Units” includes a section giving the Available Energy Points of each type of Base Unit.

The power requirements of each Extension Card is expressed in Energy Demand Points. This number is meant to check whether the balance with the Available Energy Points of a given Base Unit with Extension Cards is OK or not.

The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base Units” includes practical examples of power balance calculations.


Chapter 4Powering On the Base Unit with its Extension Cards

4. Powering On the Base Unit with its Extension CardsWhen the Base Unit is powered on, it takes approximately 25 seconds for the unit to go through its self-test procedure. The slots in which the extension cards have been inserted and their type are detected during this process.

If the boot process completes normally, you should observe the following LED status

• Base Unit USR flashing green slowly

• Extension Card LNK OFF (the ETH connection is disabled by default)


Chapter 5Check Card Detection on the Embedded Web

Page

5. Check Card Detection on the Embedded Web PageThe eWON Flexy Extension Card requires no software configuration. It is automatically detected by the Base Unit when it boots.

5.1. Connecting to the Embedded Web ServerConfigure the network parameters of your configuration PC to encompass the IP range of the eWON LAN.

Connect the PC to one of the LAN port of the eWON Flexy.

Open your Internet browser and access the eWON Flexy internal Web page by entering the LAN IP address in the URL field (the default address is http://10.0.0.53).

The default

• login is adm

• password is adm

- Warning -

For security reasons, changing the default password adm is absolutely required.

To change the adm password, from the menu bar, click on Configuration, Users Setup and double click on the adm entry to edit its parameters. Enter the new password twice and click Save.

5.2. Detected Cards Displayed in the System PageThe detected card appears in the eWON System hardware configuration page like shown below.

The path to the System hardware configuration page showing the cards detected by the Base Unit is: Diagnostic (1) > Status (2) > System Info (3) > System (4). The screen capture below gives an example of an FLX 3101 extension card that has been detected in slot 1 (5).
